The 1000th and 39th Wuhu

If you want to understand Sun Yingyuan's worries, you must explain the large and small military leaders entrenched in Jiangxi and Anhui at this time.

First of all, the remnants of You Shilu in Jiangbei, including You Gongji, Zhang Yingxiang, Xu Ensheng, Hao Xiaozhong, Chang Deng, Wu Xueli, Zhang Yingyuan, Xu Yuxian, etc., supported a total of 110,000 troops.

It was compressed in the areas of Anqing Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Chizhou Mansion, and Huizhou Mansion, and was the target of Azig's key elimination.

Although Azig only had 30,000 soldiers and 90,000 auxiliaries in his hands, he had sufficient ammunition and high morale, and was about to join forces with Yue Xue and 20,000 Mongolian cavalry.

Then there is the most vegetable chicken in the four towns of Jiangbei - Liu Liangzuo, he gave up Shouzhou and fled to Wuwei Prefecture in one go.

There are not many soldiers and horses in his hands, and because he is too rookie, he does the least evil things.

In addition, he has an ace in his hand.

His elder brother Liu Liangchen has been in the Liaodong Army and has been promoted to the Huai'an Garrison Commander, which is equivalent to the current garrison commander.

Liu Liangchen's son, Liu Tihong, who was staying in Liu Liangzuo's army at the moment, had already written a letter to Nanjing, asking for surrender.

To the south of Wuhu, there are also military heads.

The Fujian soldiers entrenched in Zheng Cai, the Liaodong Navy Division of the Tu Fei Division, the Sichuan soldiers of Fang Guoan, the Yu soldiers of Bu Congshan, and the southern soldiers of Du Hongyu are all not easy to mess with.

Among them, Zheng Cai is Zheng Zhilong's relative, ostensibly the Ming army, but in fact he is a Liaodong spy who infiltrated the Ming army.

It is precisely because of them that Yang Cheng should accurately grasp the trends in various places.

February 17 was the day when Yue Zhi and 20,000 Mongol cavalry planned to set out.

According to Azig's Di Bao, Yang Cheng should make an accurate judgment that eliminating this *** means that Jiangnan will be pacified, and it is just around the corner.

Therefore, he dispatched Yue Zhi's division to the west, and together with the Tumut and Chahar cavalry, attacked the remnants of You Shilu and the head of the Southern Ming army.

At the same time, he sent a letter to Liu Liangzuo, asking him to tie a white cloth on the arms of the whole army to avoid wrongful killing.

He sent someone to inform Zheng Cai again, feigned defeat and retreated, withdrew to Fuzhou, and cooperated with Li Dingguo to take Fuzhou and other places.

"Tell the whole army that this is a war to unify the world, don't be afraid of fatigue, and destroy the enemy in one go. Wherever the enemy flees, we will fight there."

Yang Chengying was cheering for the generals who went out, including Yue Xuan, when the guards suddenly came to report: "Reinforcements are already on their way, and they will arrive in Nanjing within ten days."

"Good, good!" Yang Chengying read the Di newspaper, "Tell Shen Zhixiang and Zu Zeyuan to speed up their pace, otherwise they won't even be able to drink the soup."

The guards were ordered to retreat.

The Second Army remained in Chahar Province to guard against Mobei and Mongol.

However, with a large number of Mongol cavalry being transferred to the south, the pressure on defense was not so great.

Therefore, Yang Chengying transferred Shen Zhixiang and Zu Zeyuan to lead two divisions south, plus the cavalry on the left and right flanks of Horqin. Look at the book

In addition, a division was drawn from Zilharang's Eighth Army, led by Dardai, to Lushun by train, landed in Shandong, and then went south to support.

Yang Chengying turned to Yue Yu and Gu Luge and said, "Our army has enough soldiers and horses, and after you have eliminated the two forces, you can station according to the situation, or withdraw your troops back."

"That way, the soldiers will be even happier." Yue Zhixi said.

With the large-scale deployment of troops by Yue Zhen and others, the leaders of the large and small armies entrenched near Wuhu immediately reacted.

Among them, Bu Congshan had no way to run, he dug the Yellow River, drowned countless civilians, and was absolutely wiped out.

Fang Guoan did not have any worries about this, but moved the mind of surrendering.

Fools can see that Yang Cheng should only eliminate the military leaders and soldiers who do evil, and be open to everyone else.

In addition to these two, there were also some small army leaders, who realized that they had not done anything evil, and directly led the army to surrender.

All this made Sun Yingyuan numb.

He mobilized his commanders-in-chief, Tian Xiong, Huang Fei and Zhuge Jinming, to discuss countermeasures.

Although it is known as the Eight Great Soldiers, in fact, there are only three that are useful.

"The enemy is pressing the border, and our army must withdraw." Sun Yingyuan said

"As for the route of retreat, it is better to go to Jiangxi."

"It's not good to retreat to Jiangxi, there are remnants of You Shilu along the way, I'm afraid it won't let us pass easily." Tian Xiong said.

"Now they and I are grasshoppers on the same rope, and there is no other way out but to cooperate with us."

Sun Yingyuan thought for a moment and said, "Withdraw first, otherwise when the enemy arrives, you won't be able to withdraw if you want to."

"The problem is that the emperor ate Dashuai's meal, but he was on Du Hongyu's boat, Dashuai is so desperate to protect him, I'm afraid there will be no good results."

Tian Xiong said angrily.

Sun Yingyuan heard the signs and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean by this, could it be that you want to surrender Yang Chengying?"

"Why not?"

Tian Xiong's rhetorical question silenced Sun Yingyuan.

Speaking of which, Sun Yingyuan and Tian Xiong are old acquaintances, and they were both trained by Ma Dengyun. In the years that followed, the disparity between the two became more and more disparity.

But! Tian Xiong is the most capable general under Sun Yingyuan, and there is no one.

And because Lu Jiude is in the Beijing camp, he can also get a baggage supplement, and he is one of the few generals who does not have a big criminal record.

Seeing Tian Xiong say this, Sun Yingyuan said angrily: "How can this be done, we are favored by the emperor in our world, and we should be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, how can we turn our backs on the Lord and seek glory."

"Then you should also take a look at what kind of monarch you are loyal to, you don't have great skills, you are smart and slip away, and you actually rely on Du Hongyu's army, and you don't want to engage in checks and balances."

"Tian Xiong!"

"General Sun, open your eyes and see, at this time, how the emperor treats you and us."

Tian Xiong's words made Sun Yingyuan silent again.

"Our brothers have not done much evil now, especially not to harm the village, in case they are defeated and do the work of slaughtering and plundering the city, and their lives will be lost!"

Tian Xiong further said.

Sun Yingyuan couldn't help but stare at him: "Are you so afraid of death?"

Perhaps Sun Yingyuan's questioning tone was ridiculous, Tian Xiong smiled: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but it's better to live than to die."

"Huh?" Sun Yingyuan snorted coldly and turned his head to look at the second general soldier of the Chinese army: "What do you think?"

Huang Fei and Zhuge Jinming glanced at each other, and Huang Fei replied cautiously, "Marshal, we think General Tian's words make sense."

"Yes," Zhuge Jinming echoed, "We are now under attack on our backs, and there is no way out for us to flee south."

Sun Yingyuan fell silent.

Tian Xiong further said: "Marshal, if you vote for Yang Chengying, you can still be the chief soldier of the garrison. Just like Liu Hongqi, Li Jiyu and Gao Di."

Sun Yingyuan hesitated, and he was about to speak, when he suddenly heard his own soldiers asking to see him outside.

"Come in." Sun Yingyuan's face regained his majesty.

The soldiers hurriedly ran in: "Marshal, something is wrong, Du Hongyu's southern soldiers have been attacked by the Liaodong Army and can't resist it."

"Where's Your Majesty?" Sun Yingyuan asked hurriedly.

"Not in Du Hongyu's army, but on the boat behind."

Hearing this, Sun Yingyuan had a flash of inspiration: "Go and tell Your Majesty, just say that I, Sun Yingyuan, am willing to escort Your Majesty to the south, and ask Your Majesty to come to our army quickly."

The soldiers didn't understand the twists and turns in this, and left after receiving the order.
